 * Description:
 * A Service implementing the GossipService interface
 * is built through a gossip algorithm. 
 * The gossip algorithms define a particular class
 * of P2P protocols where each node runs a pair of thread.
 * Namely the "Active Thread" and the "Passive Thread" 
 * run concurrently on the same machine and are working
 * at the same algorithm, probably sharing some variables.
 * In order to implement a GossipService the developer
 * may be interested in looking the 
 * gossipThread package.
